Critical Praise For Liana Flores:

"Nothing sounds better in hot weather than bossa nova, and Flores conjures its wistful mood with closely harmonised melodies - but there are dark images tucked amid the beauty."
- The Guardian

“The London-based, British-Brazilian songwriter draws on jazz, folk and Brazilian pop sounds for a uniquely intimate and picturesque style” - Ones to Watch

“Flores’ sound is what you’d imagine fluttering out from the pages of a dusty, leather-bound book of fairytales.” - Interview Magazine

“Mystical storytelling and transporting jazz-folk.” - Line of Best Fit

24 JUNE 2026 (TORONTO, ON) – Today, singer-songwriter Liana Flores shares her latest, “So it goes,” a breezy, bossa nova influenced single with lyrics in both English and Portuguese. Listen here. This is the British-Brazilian’s third release this year, following earlier collaborations with Mei Semones on “Koneko” and bossa nova architect Roberto Menescal on “Midnight Lullaby.” More music to be announced.

“So it goes” recently made its debut on the latest episode of Liana’s NTS Radio residency, Basket Of Light. Listen to the full episode here. Of the song, Liana says:

“The song is about how you could be dealing with anything on the inside, but the world goes on as usual anyway. I thought the breeziness and poise of bossa nova was a good match for that idea."

Recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-nominated producer, mixer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Paul Butler (Lord Huron, The Teskey Brothers, Michael Kiwanuka, Andrew Bird), “So it goes” continues to draw from the bossa nova influences that inspired Flower of the soul, Liana’s 2024 debut album on Verve Records. To date, the album has amassed over 84 million streams globally, resonating with a rapidly expanding fanbase around the world and introducing new listeners to Liana’s unique blend of sound.

Blending elements of bossa nova and Brazilian pop with an indie, folk-y spin, Liana’s music explores transformation in all of its forms and puts a spotlight on a truly singular talent.

Alongside the release of “So it goes,” Liana announces a string of global headlining tour dates, as well as a special appearance at the Verve Records 70th Anniversary Show at Central Park’s Summerstage on September 2nd, where she will be performing with frequent collaborator Mei Semones.

About Liana Flores
Liana Flores' story is one of cultural cross-pollination, unlikely chances, and quite possibly a signpost for the evolution of folk music in the digital age.

Raised in rural Norfolk pre-internet ubiquity, the bossa nova CDs belonging to Liana's Brazilian mother were a first glimpse into a musical world beyond Eleanor Rigby on cassette and Gilbert & Sullivan in the village hall.

At 19, she went from building an early listener base with showtune covers in the YouTube era, to penning her own songs. The influences all started coming together, in self-recorded songs combining the harmonic stylings of bossa nova guitar with personal lyrics - often gloomy but persevering, expressing anxieties and depicting the nature in her hometown.

Three years later, one of these unassuming songs, ‘rises the moon’, was uploaded to TikTok without the singer's knowledge and became a surprise hit, spawning countless cover versions before the labels came calling. Nearly a billion streams later, it's arguably a defining folk song of its generation.

After signing to Verve Records, a full-length record, Flower of the soul, followed in 2024. Drawing from sunshine pop, bossa nova and psych folk, and featuring newly polished studio production and a full band, the record marked a metamorphosis from DIY recluse to rising artist with records available in stores all over the world, and a tour spanning UK, Europe, the US, and Asia.

Her latest single, "So it goes" is inspired by classic bossa nova in the vein of Burt Bacharach and Astrud Gilberto, reflecting the pace of city life since moving to London.
